Analysis on spatial distribution model of monomer Internet bars in China's mainland

The paper, mainly based on spatial data of monomer Internet bar in China's mainland, found support from technologies of GIS's strong spatial data analysis and probed into the spatial distribution rules of Internet bars in China's mainland, particularly in major cities and provinces in the East, Middle and West or those in national, provincial and city scale. The paper was focused on studies of two aspects: 1. To describe the overall characteristics of Internet bars distributed in mainland, typically in model cities and provinces; 2. To make quantitative analysis on spatial distribution model and on concentration features of Internet bars all over the country by using two spatial modeling analysis methods: method of the nearest neighbor index and Repley's K function.
